Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of keteng-keteng musical instruments as a medium for teaching mathematics on the subject of curved tube shapes in ninth grade junior high school. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with ninth grade junior high school students as the research subjects. Data collection was carried out through observation of the learning process, interviews with students and teachers, and documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing using triangulation techniques to maintain data validity. The results showed that the use of keteng-keteng musical instruments helped students understand the concept of cylinders more concretely through direct observation of the shape, elements, and characteristics of cylinders. In addition, the use of this locally-based media was able to increase student engagement, interest in learning, and activity in the mathematics learning process. Thus, the keteng-keteng musical instrument can be used as an alternative contextual and meaningful learning media for mathematics in the subject of curved tube shapes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of deep learning on students' critical thinking skills in mathematics learning in grade XI high school. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving one experimental class and one control class. Deep learning treatment was given to the experimental class, while the control class followed conventional learning. Data on critical thinking skills were collected through a validated posttest. Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro–Wilk test to test normality, the Levene test to test homogeneity, and the independent samples t-test to test the difference in means between the two groups. The results of the analysis showed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the critical thinking skills of students in the experimental class and the control class. These findings indicate that deep learning has a positive and significant effect on improving students' critical thinking skills in mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of implementing a Project Based Learning (PjBL) based learning module on students' creative thinking abilities in solid geometry material through the creation of a Batak Toba traditional building miniature in junior high school. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the non-equivalent control group type. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class that received treatment using the PjBL-based module and the control class that used conventional learning. Data collection techniques were conducted through pretests and posttests using mathematical creative thinking ability test instruments referring to indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Data were analysed through normality tests, homogeneity tests, and Independent Sample t-Test. The results show that the data are normally distributed and homogeneous. The hypothesis test obtained a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the creative thinking abilities of students in the experimental and control classes. Thus, the implementation of the PjBL-based learning module through a Batak Toba traditional building miniature project has proven effective in enhancing the mathematical creative thinking abilities of junior high school students

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of implementing problem-based learning (PBL) on students’ higher-order thinking skills regarding SPLTV material in 10th grade at State High School 17 Medan during the 2025/2026 academic year. This study is a quantitative study using a one-shot case study design. The population in this study consists of all 10th-grade students at State High School 17 Medan, comprising 9 classes, and the sample consists of classes 10-8 and 10-9, selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study include tests, questionnaires, and observation sheets, all of which were first tested for validity and reliability. The effectiveness of learning was assessed based on effectiveness indicators, namely the systematic structure of instruction, teacher communication, student response, student activity, and criteria for the achievement of learning objectives. Data from each indicator instrument in this study were analyzed using descriptive analysis with the aid of frequency distribution tables and tables of criteria for the achievement of learning objectives. The results of this study indicate that all five indicators—namely, the systematic nature of learning—met the “good” category; teacher communication met the “good” category; student responses and student activities met the “good” category; and learning objectives were achieved. Based on these five indicators, the effectiveness of learning also met the “good” criteria. Consequently, problem-based learning aimed at developing higher-order thinking skills in the SPLTV curriculum is effective and falls into the high category.

Abstract

Ethnomathematics serves as a significant pedagogical approach for linking mathematical concepts with local culture, thereby making learning more contextual and meaningful. However, the utilization of cultural heritage as a resource for mathematics education remains limited; this includes the Ogung—a traditional musical instrument of the Toba Batak people—which holds the potential to embody various geometric concepts. This study aims to explore the 3D geometric concepts found in the Toba Batak Ogung as an application of ethnomathematics in mathematics education. A qualitative approach employing an exploratory method was used. Data were gathered through observation, interviews with Toba Batak artisans and cultural practitioners, and documentation within the Toba Batak cultural region; the data were subsequently analyzed descriptively through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the body of the Ogung represents a cylinder, the pencu (central boss) resembles a hemisphere, and the top and bottom surfaces are circular. Furthermore, concepts such as radius, diameter, height, surface area, and volume were identified. This study contributes to enriching the field of ethnomathematics by demonstrating that the Toba Batak Ogung can serve as a contextual learning resource, helping students understand 3D geometric concepts while simultaneously supporting the preservation of local culture.
